A continent-spanning adventure featuring one of literature’s greatest rogues Redmond Barry has almost all the qualities of a gentleman: he speaks well, has learned courtly etiquette, and can hold his own with a sword in hand. But passion is his downfall—passion for life, for excitement, and unfortunately, for his cousin Nora. When he almost kills Nora’s suitor in a duel, Barry flees to Dublin, and the adventure of his life begins. A consummate rake and con man, Barry finds himself on the battlefield against the Prussians in the Seven Years’ War after losing everything. But war—and life, for that matter—is not exactly what Barry wished or expected it to be. A braggart’s tale through and through, with an antihero of epic proporations, The Luck of Barry Lyndon is a brisk romp through one of literature’s most unusual lives. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
I riferimenti all’arte possono quindi richiamare temi e contenuti collegati a determinate opere, oppure evocare parallelismi tra le opere citate e le situazioni narrate nel film; ad esempio, la Pop art costituisce in Arancia meccanica l’esemplificazione dell’asservimento consumistico all’origine delle devianze del protagonista, mentre in Barry Lyndon i “quadri” che il regista mette in scena hanno la funzione di elementi di mediazione fra il presente ed il passato, una macchina del tempo per raggiungere un’epoca distante, e, contestualmente, nella loro lontananza e fissità, alludono all’impossibilità di un approccio vero e profondo con la Storia, di cui è disponibile solo la rappresentazione.

Genius-these two- Stanley Kubrick & William Makepeace Thackeray. The Luck of Barry Lyndon by Thackeray, was published in 1844 and based on the life and exploits of the Anglo-Irish rakehell Andrew Robinson Stoney. Stanley Kubrick adapted Thackeray's novel, making Barry Lyndon. Whatever wooden Ryan O'Neal lacks as Barry, the languid Marisa Berenson makes up for as the unhappiest of women, Lady Lyndon. Each minute of the film delivers art. Whether it is 18th century costume, interiors- or landscape- the camera is recording a perfect canvas. Kubrick wanted to create the most authentic period film ever made. He shot on location- no studio sets and attempted to use only natural sunlight and candlelight. Marisa Berenson is a walking canvas. Scene after scene are moving Watteau(www.jean-antoine-watteau.org) pastorals: "Although his mature paintings seem to be so many depictions of frivolous fêtes galantes, they in fact display a sober melancholy, a sense of the ultimate futility of life, that makes him, among 18th century painters, one of the closest to modern sensibilities." (from www.jean-antoine-watteau.org- biography) and so it is with Barry Lyndon. Scenes from Barry Lyndon (all Lyndon from Warner Bros. and Watteau. (www.jean-antoine-watteau.org)
